THANKSGIVING DAY
BY ELLA W. KICKER.

There's not flower in the field,
The skies are cold and gray,
And yet, of all the happy year,
This IL the blithest day.
For Grandma stands beside the hearth
With loving arms spread wide,
And Grandpa lifts upon his knee
Each households pet and pride
From walls long silent echo back
Tue children's merry noise,
And Aunties treasures are displayed
70 troops of girls and boys;
While Mother drops the matron's cares
and sacks the guiding rein,
Content within her fathers house
10 be child again.
How gayly rings the laughter out
Around the festal board
How swiftly pass the laden plates
With richest dainties stored
Home claims its wanderers once more
By filial bonds held fast,
Love rules the hour and hopes bright ra.
Is DER the future cast.

THANKSGIVING.
BY PHOEBE CARY.

o men grown sick with toll and care,
Leave for awhile the crowded mart;
O woman sinking with despair.
Weary of limb and faint OF heart,
Forget your cares to-day and come
AS children back to childhood's home!
Follow again the winding rills:
Go to the places where you went,
When climbing up the summer hills,
In their green lap you sat content;
And softly leaned your head TO rest
On natures calm and peaceful breast
Walk through the sere and fading wood,
SO lightly trodden by your feet;
When all YOU knew of life was good,
And all you dreamed of life was sweet.
And Jet fond memory lead you back,
Der youthful loves enchanted track.
Taste the ripe fruit of orchard bows,
brink from the messy well once more;
Breathe fragrance from the crowded mows,
With fresh, sweet clover running Ger;
And count the treasures st your feet,
OF s.lvery I'VE and golden wheat.
Go sit beside the hearth again,
whose circle once was glad and gay;
And if from out the precious chain
Some shining links have dropped away.
Then guard with tendeTer heart and hand,
The remnant of your household band.
Draw near the board with plenty spread,
And If in the accustomed place
You see the fathers reverend head,
Or mothers patient, loving face,
Whate'er your life may have of i'll,
Thank God that these are left you still.
And though where home hath been, yol
stand
To-day in alien loneliness;
Though you may clasp no brothers hand,
And claim no sister tender kiss;
Though with no friend or lover nigh,
- 40 M Of 6 a II
Thank God for friends your life has known
For every dear, departed day;
The blessed past is safe alone
God gives but does not take away;
He only safely keeps above
For us the treasures that we love.

MUSIC IN THE FAMILY

An excellent clergyman, possessing
much knowledge of human nature, in
structed bis large family of daughters in
The ordinary practice of music. They
were all observed to be amiable and hap
py, A friend inquired if there was any
secret in his mode of education. He re-
piled when anything disturbs their tenn
pers | say to them sing; and if l hear
them speaking against any person | call
them to sing to me; and they sing away
all causes Of discomfort and disposition to
scandal, Such use of this accomplish
ment might seem to fit a family for the
company of angels. Young voices
around the domestic altar, breathing sa'
cred music at morning and evening de-
votion, are sweet and touching accom-
paniment -Eldorado Eagle.
Yes; let music be heard in svery house
hold. Music is inspiring to the lower an.
imals-mice, cattle, horses and many
other animals. and why should it not in
spire man, created in Gods on image, to
purer thoughts and nobler deeds2 Music
is an inspiration itself Why? Because
it is perfectly harmless. Because it is
pure, Because it awakes the nobler in.
stinots of man. Because it quiets the baser
passions and excites the most tender emo
tlons in nplanted in the breast of man. 1t
begets pure love and harmony of feeling
with all of its admirers, and they are
everywhere, Music introduced the Babe
of Bethlehem to the world. Soul-stirring
music nerves brave men in the midst of
battle to gain victories. Music is help
ing to convert the world to-day. Music
precedes the gospel in every cline and
prepares the ear of the heathen for that
gospel. Who is it that don't love music?

THE CORN CROP.

Of all the crops raised, probably none
are of such vast Importance to the farmer
as the corn crop; and on no account should
it be neglected.
Did you ever know any farmer to fail
whose cribs were filed with corn?
Did you ever know man to complain
of hard times whose cribs were filed
with corn?
Did you ever know a man whose hous-
es and fences were in good order and that
such other evidences of prosperity crown
ed him, whose cribs were not filled with
corn?
Did you eyer know planter proud of
himself and loved by his neighbors and
happy in his family whose cribs were not
filled With corn?
Did you ever know a man who did not
raise it, whose cribs were filed with corn?
Did you ever know man who neglect
ed corn for the cultivation of cotton who
was not in debt?
Did you ever see a mans wife, who, af-
ter the cotton was gathered and corn had
to be bought, that had new dress?
Did you ever know a man who planted

Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1887-12-31

A CORRESPONDENT signing himself Killar-

zens of Wa lkerviile, tool occa- ion to make
O far more malicious misstatement in a
communication that appeared yesterday
than that he pretended to defend. He re-
ferred to a dance hat took place there
last week in terms which leave it to be in
ierred that the affair was a saturnalia,
participated in only bv the rowdy element.
In the light OF information since furnished
concerning those who attended the ball and
it's superior character of entertainment,
the only inference to be drawn from the
tissue OF malicious faisehoods in Killarney's
communication is that he was denied per-
mission to associate with the ladies and
gentlemen there present and took this con-
temptible method of venting his spite. The
mere mention OF the fact hat the dance
a attended by members of the leading
families in our northern suburb would be
enough to re!ute the sianderous imputa-
tions of Killarney which arc beneath con.
tempt being such utterly senseless lies. The
attempted injury to the ladies and gentle.
men present at the ball leaves them entirely
unscathed and reacts with double force on
the contemplate slanderer who penned the
calumny.

with ridicule. The MINER has the inter
